Tickets going fast for Vienna Choir Boys

The Otterbein College Artist Series will present the Vienna Choir Boys in concert Wednesday, March 10, at 8:15 p.m. in Cowan Hall. Tickets for their appearance will be available at the Cowan Box Office beginning March 1. Students may present their I.D.'s for free tickets.

More than 4 70 years old, the Vienna Choir Boys scarcely look their age! Seeing them on the stages of the world's great , concert halls, it is difficult tcremember that they were around when Columbus was discovering new worlds.

At one end of the pendulum a cherubic eight years old, at the· other a grown-up fourteen, these young figures in white' sailor suits carry on one of the world's great traditions. The choir boys of Vienna were born by Royal Decree in 1498 to p~rform music at divine services and at banquets. They continued under Ro.yal Patronage until 1918, when it was decided' to try concert

Now is the time

Once again the Otters will have the opportunity to confront the Capital Crusaders this basketball season. This time it will be on a neutral floor and the home court advantage will be non-existent if· one side doesn't have a preponderance of fans rooting for its team.

!,ast February Cap came to our little bandbox, and try as they rmght, our Otters just couldn't keep the Purple Plumbers in their place.

This time they have a chance to redeem themselves in a game that means even more than the last one.

Last time we lost the game, but at season's end we found that we were higher in the standings because of percentage points difference in games won. It's sort of a cheap way of saying that we are better than they.

It's good that Wittenberg lost to Cap; another Cap-Otter game has been created. If the Otters win this one, there will be nothing cheap about their record at all.

They will have beaten one of the best the Ohio Conference has to offer in Capital, and in so doing, will have the right to fight for the OC crown the following night.

Good luck this weekend, Otters. The school's behind you all the way in spirit, anyway.

witl1

· Which brings us to the question of why there are two schoolsponsored student events on the same day: the Ohio Conference Basketball Tournament and perhaps the most important theatrical performance of the year, "Othello," with professional quest star Brock Peters in the title role.

This is not very good planning by the calendar committee to say the least. One would assume that the reason for the committee's existence is to prevent sucli conflicts where student interest is divided and limited in its support.

The committee either doesn't have any faith in the Otters or else they don't really care.

,It is su~ested that such a conflict of interest is avoided next year. It s not fall" to the basketball team, the performers on stage, or the students who are torn between making such heart-rendering decisions.

After all, if the Otters can make the OC Tournament finals this year, they probably can do it in 1972.

front and boggle the minds of our elders.

An ad hoc committee on woman's hours, chaired by Sue Ann F arnlacher, finally had a proposal on woman's hours accepted by the Campus Regulations Committee. It now goes · before the College Senate for discussion in a special meeting called from this week's Senate meeting.

The proposal would allow upperclassmen women students, with parental permission, to have self-determined hours.

The Tan and Cardinal congratulates the committees on their proposal and hopes it is endorsed by the Senate. It's about time students on this campus are given the opportunity to live as adults instead of just playing the role.

LETTERS to the EDITOR

On gravediggers

Dear Editor:

It was reported this week • from the war zone that orders had been issued to double the number of graves to be preapred for the following week. This small and somewhat innocent report from the war zone could easily be passed by most observers as just more war news.

Dear Students,

We are happy to receive you as a guest in our Islands. To ensure a pleasant holiday in the sun may I suggest that you take note of this summary of Bahamian regulations and laws, which apply throughout the Islands to citizens, residents and guests alike.

I. Any possession of marijuana or other dangerous drugs, even without their use, is illegal and is punishable by up to one year in prison and/or a $1,000 fine This law is strictly enforced

2. Sleeping on the beaches at night is strictly prohibited.

3. Firearms , even those registered in the United States or other countries, may not be brought into the Bahamas The legal penalty for possession of firearms is up to two years imprisonment and/or a $500 fine

4. There is a $3 departure tax on all persons leaving the Island

5. Spearfishing with guns is illegal. So is spearfishing with SCUBA gear. Only Hawaiian slings or pole spears may be used, and only with mask and snorkel.

6. Because it is difficult to cash personal checks in the Bahamas, we suggest that you

(Newf ftc.,.,_)

carry Travellers' checks when you visit the Islands.

7. Should you need information or assistance contact the Ministry of Tourism (telephone 23610), the Bahamas Police (telephone 24444, 2 3 333), or the American Consul General (telephone 21181, after hours 23040).

Again may I extend to you our warmest welcome, and sincere hope that you will enjoy your stay in the Bahama Islands.

Clement T. Maynard, Minister of Tourism and Telecommunications, and Minister of Health, Nassau in the Bahamas

Letters to the Editor

The Tan and Cardinal urges students, faculty and staff to submit l etters to the newspaper.

Letters should be typed and double spaced The T&C reserves the right to edit, accept, or reject a letter. Authors will be consulted regarding any editing changes.

Include your name, address and telephone number on all letters.

While the administration from Mr Nixon on down is busy filling the air with optimistic field reports, they sometimes forget the frailty of human life. Pentagon spokesman continuously remind us that the A.R.V.N troops, or America's Avis Rent-An-Army, are inflicting a kill ratio · of about ten to one upon· the enemy troops in the Laos panhandle.

Curious other games are played with word subtrefuge by Pentagon and State Department spokesman. Upon announcement of the "incursion" into Laos , (notice the change from last spring's "invasion"), it was announced that no American combat troops would go into Laos. Well, times have changed and now there is a distinction between "combat troops" and "emergency combat troops " Unfortunately, both strains of this species sometimes come back dead and there can be no distinction among the living or the dead!

The last administration got caught up in its rhetorical coattails with such phrases as "The light at the end of the tunnel" and "rounding the corner in the war." These phrases now echo dull silence in history books.

This administra t ion has also entered the wo r d game Perhaps spokesman can come up with a new phrase for gravediggers, such as "earth replacement personnel."

But whatever rhetoric is conjured up, the dull sound of the grave diggers' shall echo for ever

Provocative questions test C.O.'s sincerity

"If two Nazi Stormtroopers ', ere killing your grandmother, would you resort to deadly force to repel them?" Every day across the country, applicants for the conscientious objector exemption are being asked this, or a similar, question.

Such a question would only be amusing were it not the source of some very real problems. In many cases, the local board members asking the question actually believe it is pivotal: if the young man is willing to kill the Stormtrooper, he cannot qualify for the exemption. Many young men also believe the question is significant since it is asked so often. These young men may decide not to apply for the C.O. exemption because they are willing to kill the Storm trooper. Or they may quietly accept a I-A classification. Or they may be tempted to compromise their convictions and allow their grandmothers to die.

In fact, however, whether a young man would actually kill the Nazi or not has no legal bearing upon his qualifications for the conscientious objector classification The courts have repeatedly and uniformly dist inguishe d between a willingness to use force and a willingness to participate in war

The Court of Appeals for the Second Cricuit, for example, recently decided that : "The statute providing exemption for conscientious objectors does not speak of objection to force, but rather of conscientious objection to 'participation in war in any form' Agreement that force can be used to restrain wrongdoing, especially as the last alternative, has little bearing on an attitude toward war. We would not expect a full-fledged conscientious objector to stand by while a madman sprayed Times Square with machine gun bullets, or while an assassin took aim at the President."

In light of court decisions such as this one, why do local boards still continue to import Nazi Stormtroopers into the local board hearing? This reporter asked Draft Director Dr. Curtis Tarr. He responded: "Now, if I were a member of a local board, I would ask many questions that (registrants) thought were unfair because I want the real registrant to come out. It's just like when I'm teaching a class. I try to ask all kinds of provocative questions. You've read Plato. You know what Socrates did. You ask any question that you think will provoke the person to say what he really believes. So you ask all kinds of leading questions. You see, I don't make up my mind that he's not a conscientious objector just because he says, 'Sure , I'd defend my grandmother,' But I

information by which I can begin to examine what that guy really thinks "

Using provocative questions to determine a registrant's sincerity is legitimate. Sincerity is one of the requirements for the C.O. exemption. The manner in which a registrant answers a question is a legitimate consideration in determing his sincerity. Local boards, therefore, often ask difficult questions which may force a registrant to reveal that he has not thought about war and killing very much

For example, boards often ask C.O. applicants whether they are willing to pay taxes and thereby participate in the purchase of war machines which will eventually be used to kill people. Of course, the C.O. exemption is not restricted to tax resistors However, registrants who have not thought about such questions often become con fused and contradictory Such responses provide a basis for denying the exemption since they reflect adversely upon the registrant's sincerity

Therefore, any young man seeking the C.O. exemption

should prepare himself for questions which may not relate directly to his qualifications for exemption. Though not directly relevant to his case these questions are important in determining a registrant's sincerity.

The rules outlined above have resulted from a number of court cases over the past few years. Undoubtedly, some local board members are not aware of these cases. They still feel that a registrant who is willing to kill the Stormtrooper cannot qualify for exemption. If a board member used this reasoning in order to deny the C.O. exemption, he would be acting improperly. Any registrant who feels his board has acted improperly and who is ordered for induction s1 1 ould not delay in consulting an attorney. He will not only be helping himself, he will also help the young men who will confront his board in the future

Tuesday in Towers Hall

On Tuesday evening, March 9, Dr. Jung Lee, Assistant Professor of Religion, will read his paper "The I Ching and Modern Science" as the final event of the seminar on the I Ching, co-sponsored by the E.I. Group of the Campus Club and the Torch and Key Honor Society The reading of the paper will be followed by discussion, and anyone interested is welcome to attend, whether or not he has attended other seminar sessions The reading of the paper will take place in Towers Hall room number 1 (on the ground floor, north) at 7 'p.m This paper by Dr. Lee is one which he read on January 8 to the China Section of the 28th International Congress of Orientalists in Canberra , AustJalia.

The I Ching ("Book of Change") , the ancient sacred boo k of China , expresses a ..:osm1c view which is in many

ways compatible with certain modern scientific thought. Both this thought and the I Ching, for example, reject the traditional Western view of the world that considers time and space absolute and independent of all other existence To both of them, everything (including time and space) is relative and interdependent, and everything is constantly in a process of change. In this and other areas of modern science, the compatibility of viewpoint with the I Ching is the focus of Dr. Lee's paper.

March 7, 1971 From 2:00-3 :00 p.m. in the Campus 1Center Lounge the Sibyl staff and WSGB are sponsoring a tea and reception for this year's Sibyl queen and her court. Everyone is invited to attend this reception honoring the five senior girls.

Captain Charles H. Showell Jr. has been assigned to the Otterbein Air Force ROTC detachment as an instructor in Aerospace Science. He assumed Columbus, freshman, for Extemporaneous Speaking

The winning speech was an original, humorous description of the author's experiences as a black student. She suggested · that there are three reactions white people have as they meet blacks: (1) They are afraid, (2) They are overly-friendly, or (3) They are "natural" and react as they would with anybody else. Preferring the latter, she concluded her speech with the advice that became the title of her speech simply, "Be Comfortable." Three faculty judges in the final round, voting independently, awarded this speaker first place over four other contestants.

his responsibilities on February 24 and will continue in that position for the next three years.

Capt. Showell is a recent graduate of the Air Force Institute of Technology of Wright-Patterson Air Force base near Dayton where he received his masters.

In July of 1964, he was stationed at Denver, Colorado. From there, he went to the New York Air Force base as an avionics officer and also had temporary duty in Southeast Asia for six months.

On January 15 of this year, he went to Wright-Patterson for his masters

Capt. Showell is originally from Whaleyville, Md. He is married to a schoolteacher who has her M.A. from Syracuse University. Capt. Showell likes the friendly atmosphere here at Otterbein. He feels that he was hired here for his qualifications, and not because he was a Black, and that the trend at all colleges is toward this way.

Dr. Hanock attends Massachusetts conference on American Revolution

Dr. Harold Hancock, Chairman of the Department of History and Government, is attending a conference on March 5 and 6 in Worcester, Massachusetts, on the loyalists. The conference is sponsoring a program of study and publications in connection with the bicentennial of the American Revolution.

The Otterbein professor has been invited to attend because of half a dozen articles and a monograph he has written on the Delaware loyalists. When he taught in England in 1948 and when he researched there for a year in 1958, he gathered material on this topic

During the summer Dr. Hancock will make a survey of materials in Delaware on the loyalists for a bibliography to be published by this organization.

"Acting has been my life ''

by Tony Del Valle

Brock Peters

Actor Broc k Peters, appearing tonight in Othello in Cowan Hall chatted with the T&C's movie critic, Tony Del Valle , and Soul ":1 riter Eddie Parks in an ex clusive interview. Mr Peters film work includes such efforts as " The Ro o m, " and the Academy M ockingbird "

T &C : Perhaps we could begin by talking about your e xperiences with the other t hree Othello productions you 've been in Mr. Peters : Well, let's see The first production I did was a t the Arena stage in Washington, D C And since it was my first Othello I was rather fearful, insecure, and uncertain about doing it. As a matter of fact, I had been persuaded both by the director who is a friend, and the operator of the theatre there t hat I should do Othello. I had been reluctant. I felt that I wanted to do the role sometime later in life but not at that point. In any case, they succeeded in convincing me that it was something l should start doing then and continue doing for the rest of my life, which, apparently I've set on the road to do There were some problems with that production -a first for me. They were physical problems staging etc but with all that it worked out fairly well

T h e n I d i d a n O"t h e r production of it, south of Los Angeles which went fairly well And the third production I did with Othello was just outside San Francisco Stanford University and that I think was perhaps the most successful production I have been a part of. We gained some rather fantast ic reviews from all the press in the area. With or without those reviews in any case we in the company all felt that we had delivered the audience a rather stunning production of Othello in terms of performance And it is my hope that something like that can happen here at Otterbein.

T&C : How did you happen to go into acting?

Peters: Acting, without question, has been my life. I've been at it for some time and the decision to become an actor came fairly early in my life I was just coming into my teens and it had come out of an experience an exposure to theatre in the Village in New York and I had seen some little theatre which had been performed in a tea room which was given over to performances on a Sunday evening. This was my first exposure to theatre. I was very small then It was a very exciting moment that first time it stuck with me Whatever else I thought I wanted t o do in the interim of g rowing u p was eve ntu ally discarde d and I decided, just about the time I was getting to be a teenager, that I wanted to be an actor. My career has had its ups and downs like all actors and yet it has been a career. I have a reputation which I try to maintain and improve. I find it still exciting. l think I wouldn't change if I

Pawnbroker, " '"The L-Shaped Award winner "To Kill A

had an opportunity to start again.

T &C : Do you have any particular preference between the stage and the screen?

Peters: Well, I don't really have a preference What concerns me are the challenges of a given role. I recognize that they are two different mediums the stage and film. The techniques that one has to have to create a role in each are the same. You have to be a fairly sound craftsman particularly for film because you shoot out of sequence so much of the time and you are not in charge of the editing of the film , and consequently you have to be pretty sure that w hen the pieces are put together you're not going to be at a very high level at the beginning of the scene and then discover when they put those pieces together suddenly in the middle of the scene, the level drops Then there's the k i nd of projection that's required for the theatre. First of all, in creating your character you should find thP. care and truth of it as closely , as you cari Once having done that you have to beef that up better than life size two or three times life size so that the man sitting in the back row gets the impact of what you think, what you feel, what yo intend to project. That means if you're goiRg to beef that up it still has to be real. It can't become phony or fake. That's a very tricky thing to have to do in theatre to make something larger than life so that the man in the back row sees it, but sees it as a natural expression In films, however, the reverse is true You're in front of a camera, you've got to reduce everything because the camera lies right there. If you aren't thinking, it shows that you aren't. It can be tricked but it is that faithful. If you are standing there delivering lines in a scene and your mind is blank it's going to show.

T &C: How does it feel to be a black actor in a predominatly white profession?

Peters : Well, it's been my life experience Until fairly recently, the roles that I could get to play were few As I say for most black actors that has been true Today since we are in the midst of a kind of revolution in term so challe n ging tradition , we find t hat there are more role s bein g put together for bl ack ac t ors both in television and th e theatre. Curiously enough, theatre in New York seems to be dying while there may be more roles, the percentage of productions has dropped seriously.There have been a great number of discomforts of course. They are reflective of

the whole black experience in this country. I have been engaged in fighting this as best I could given time, money and th o ught, trying to alter the situation. Black theatre I feel has a contribution to make Black studies are not only important to black youths in school, but they're important for all American youth, because it is a part of the understanding of the contributions others have made. There has been a serious deficiency of knowledge in this area. Consequently I feel that black studies have a very valuable contribution to make in keeping this country on an even keel, and putting it into the next century.

T&C: What illusions of cinema would you like to see dissolved? Does the image of the actor trapped in a world of glamour bother you?

Peters : Well, the glamour only really exists when the movies in valved are being distributed and they have premiere parties that have to do with publicity The actual work itself is frequently boring The glamour only comes between times the Academy Awards, etc It looks as though you ' re seeing people always at parties This _ isn't

always so. It's a fine life, yes But it's no more glamorous than, I suppo se , the upper middle class American It's just that you get a great deal more publicity

T&C: What is the general attitude of people in Hollywood towards the acting awards specifically the Academy Awards?

Peters : I know there are a great number of actors and people in the industry who don't think highly of the awards, because one has only to look at the history of the awards to see how political it has been in the past political in the sense that an award is sometimes given not so much for a performance but for longevity, or seniority or popularity. Apparently they can be manipulated a little. Elizabeth Taylor got the Award for Butterfield because she deserved it for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and didn't win it and in the interim between the two movies almost died There are other examples of the same thing. So, there are a great number who don't have a high regard for the Academy Awards or any other awards for that matter I have never gone into a role with the idea

that I've got to win an Academy Award I've alw ays worked with the idea that I wanted to make a real contribution in terms of the concept of the production and I've often said "no " to films and plays that I didn't want to be in because I felt that the philosophy expressed by the author was not one that believed in and didn't want to be a part of. Or that it was unclear and would only add to the confusion And for that reason, I ' ve always been regarded as a serious actor I never go in thinking I've got to do this role so well that I've got to win an award. I think if I did that I would go crazy I would go up a wall every time I didn't get an award

T&C : How does it feel to be coming from a professional repertory company to a college production?

Peters : Well, I don't know yet. I am excited by what I am experiencing here It ' s the first time I'm playing with a stud~nt group. I can say that it is interesting

T&C: Well , we appreciate the time you've given us Mr. Peters

Peters : I enjoyed it. I'll see you at rehearsal tonight. ·

At the Cinema by Tony Del Valle Freshman film ma.l~er's potential requires guidance

Enough of the peaceful studies! Do we really need MGM and 20th Century Fox to make movies? Ask Bill Smucker

This Otterbein freshman set out to do an art project armed with only a movie camera and perhaps a little imagination. Within a short period of time, Bill completed a piece which he calls "Smiles" and as anyone could guess, the film contains nothing but people smiling. Although the movie is, of course, no classic, Bill showed some potential in his film-making; but unfortunately Otterbein can do nothing to develop Bill's po_tential. I wonder how many other students on campus likewise have something to say on film but are unable to find a means to make their desires a reality.

The AT THE CINEMA column is very eager to organize some type of student film club here at Otterbein. Equipment can be made available if enough interest is shown Film-making can be a reality at Otterbein , and anyone interested in taking ad van ta g e of thi s cre ative medium is invi ted t o contact t h e writer of thi s column After all, why should MGM have all the fun?

It never ceases to amaze me that so many colleges in the east and midwest put so much emphasis on the stage but completely ignore the cinema. Is this to say that the theatre is

more important than cinem a? Anyone can make a movie, but not everybody is going to be allowed the privilege of participating in a stage play. So why not at least one cinema appreciation course at Otterbein? At least to develop some of the immense potential

many of the students have shown. Otterbein, by ignoring this talent, is guilty of wasting it.

Movie-making can be a reality and perhaps Bill Smucker's "Smiles ," even as an amateur venture , should serve as an inspiration for all of us.

For all we've never done before Cap overcomes Wittenberg

by GAR VANCE

Capital lucked out again as Wittenberg stumbled and let the Purple Plumbers from Bexley defeat them by a score of67-6l.

Senior guard Larry Baker paced the Wittenberg Tigers with 27 points. In the loss he played the last game of his college career along with Jim Thrasher who scored 12 points.

Wittenberg's shooting percentage was far under Cap's: 40% to 61 .4%. The Tigers attempted 65 shots while the Plumbers went for the easy two and only shot 44 times.

Wittenberg topped Cap on rebounds by pulling down 32 of the game's total of 62.

"Pretty Boy" Mike Stumpf lead the Plumbers with 16 points followed by Arnold and Dafler with 14 apiece Scott Weakly put in 10 points to round out the list of double-figure scorers.

Capital put on the stall in the end, which worked quite effectively. They looked rather impressive, contrary to the usual sloppy, lucky squad shown in previous conference games.

_ Otterbein was defeated once this year at the hands of Capital by two points. Can the Plumbers beat the 'Bein again? My answer is no.

a terrific athkte Cap and Otterbein clash

and a great competitor

by John Mulkie

Coach Tong will be confronted with a major problem at the end of the Otter's 1970-71 basketball season; that of finding a replacement for Jim Augspurger. As this year's team captain, "Auggie" has cemented the team together with his leadership and competetiveness. His steady play has led Ottert,ein to its present 19-3 record.

As a J.V., Augspurger had an average year. He was dissatisfied with his performance and worked the entire summer to improve himself. His great competetive spirit was seen as he cracked the starting lineup the second

game of his sophomore year. A knee injury mid-way through the season cut down his performance for the rest of the schedule, but he did not let it immobilize him.

Auggie started his first few games as a junior at forward. The 'Bein quickly switched him to a guard slot, however, when it became apparent that the Otters needed an outside shooter of Jim's ability. He averaged 14 points a game and played very well defensively.

His performance so far this year can be summed up in Coach Tong's words: "Auggie is a terrific athlete and a great competitor. These kind of people rarely have a bad game." He has scored 346 points in 21 games for a 16 point per game average, and he is hitting ·4 7% from the field and 82% from the foul line. Although a guard, Jim is averaging about 6 rebounds a game and he frequently scores on tip-ins off the offensive boards.

weekend kept the 'Bein in the contest as the rest of the team played sluggishly. He finished with 25 points and played a great defensive game

Augspurger is one of the best all-around defensive players in the Ohio Conference. He always gets the job of guarding the leading scorer of the Card's opponents. One .of Jim's greatest thrills was holding Wittenberg's Larry Baker to 17 points · in the 'Bein's win over the Tigers, about 10 points below Baker's season average.

Be sides being the Otters basketball captain, Augspurger is also a biology major, studying to be a dentist which will be no easy task. His presence will be sorely missed at the start of Otterbein's 1971-72 season. He has been one whom the other players could look up to because of his class and his leadership.

We cannot think of a better tribute which can be payed to this great athlete than by winning the conference championship this weekend at Denison University.

for division title in big OAC -game tonight

OBERLIN, OHIO It has reached the point where there is only one weekend and three games of Ohio Conference basketball play remaining, but the situation is still so wide-open that only a fool would try to predict which team will emerge as the 1971 OAC Tourney champ.

Locking horns for the Northern Division title on Friday night in Berea will be the Purple Raiders of Mt. Union (7-6) and the Yeomen of Oberlin (3-9) while in the high-powered Southern Division, C11pital (10-2) will take on Otterbein ((I 1-2) at Denison

Oberlin, the defending tourney champ, entered the tourney with the worst record in the Northern Division, but fans and coaches learned long ago that Oberlin's regular season performances don't mean a thing when it comes to predicting tournament success.

The Obies came back to edge Kenyon, 72-70 on Friday night and rode to an 84-77 win over Baldwin-Wallace the following night behind an incredible 38 point performance by Vic Guerrieri who netted 36 of those points during the middle 20 minutes of the contest.

Otterbein, the top-ranked team in the Southern Division, also had a bye in the opening round. The Cardinals took on Denison in the second round and had their hands full with the fired up Big Red, but the Otters emerged on top of the home team, 80 74 Now the charges of Curt Tong will have to figure out how to beat the Crusaders, the team that handed them their first defeat of the season, 86-84, several weeks ago.

Capital will be trying to prove itself as a tournament team •in this weekend's action. The Crusaders got sweet revenge last Saturday as they eliminated Wittenberg by a score of 87-81. The Men from Columbus shot a blistering 61 % from the field as they knocked out the team that beat them in the tourney last year when everyone expected Capital to take it all after going undefeated during the regular season. The win Saturday came on the heels of an 82-64 trouncing of Muskingum the previous night.

The Northern Division finals will be played at Baldwin-Wallace and the Southern Division game will be at Granville with the finals being held in Granville on Saturday night.

There were also some commertts on other rules particularly the demerit system of punishment for breaking the rules. Although they felt in some cases that the system was not working too well, no one could think of anything better and most readily admitted that it was certainly an improvement over the old method of campuses.

It was also observed that while demerits might not be the best solution, they were a necessity "The demerit system is not working, but you have to have some sort of rules because there are always some people who take advantage of others."
